The PRP (platelet-rich plasma) shot uses the body’s blood to encourage the healing of damaged tissues and increases the circulation of blood flow to the penis, improving erections. Blood circulation is increased by using Platelet-Rich Plasma (or PRP) from the patient’s blood. It is not a pharmaceutical and does not require regimented scheduling to be effective.
At Advanced Physical Medicine, our doctors offer the PRP-shot as an approach to treating Erectile Dysfunction (ED.)
The PRP-Shot is for Men’s Sexual Health
In addition to improved erections, many men also report the following after receiving the PRP-Shot:
- Improved Stamina
- Increased Satisfaction
- Improved Appearance
- Increase Length and Girth
- Decreased Prostate Discomfort
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma?
Platelet-Rich Plasma is a specialized treatment that uses the healing component of the blood, known as the Plasma. This Plasma contains Platelets. When the body is injured, the body signals a rush of platelets to the injured area. These platelets go to work clotting and stalling excess bleeding. In addition, the Plasma also contains a number of growth factors that help to repair the body.
How PRP Injections are Created:
- A small sample of your blood is drawn
- This sample goes through a process called centrifuging. Centrifuging spins the blood sample at high speeds until the red blood cells and Plasma separates.
- This Plasma, concentrated in platelets, is drawn into a syringe and turned into a PRP Injection
- The PRP injection is administered strategically in areas of the penis.
What causes Erectile Dysfunction?
Most commonly, erectile dysfunction is related to circulation and blood pressure issues. Certain conditions, diseases, and lifestyle habits can impact the amount of blood that flows to the penis. Limited blood flow can cause a loss or inability to achieve an erection.
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) can be caused by:
- Blood Pressure Issues
- Diabetes
- Lifestyle habits: Smoking & Drinking
- Sleep Apnea
- Stress
- Depression
- Certain Surgeries
